What type of flowers are goo for a wedding?

My colors are red and white. I don't really want roses but it is going to be a semi-formal wedding for all. It's not that I don't like roses, I just kind of want to do something different. So, any suggestions on red flowers that will look good in a boquet and center pieces?

Reply:calla lillies are beautiful for bouquets..
Reply:I think either red poppies or red gerberas/sunflowers would be gorgeous and different! :)
Reply:How about red carnations and white spider mums, they are lovely together and compliment each other in a bouquet. Scatter baby's breath and green fern to hold it all together. It should be lovely. Congratulations and have a great time on your big day.
Reply:Check with your florist about what is in season during that season. You will get your best deal and beautiful flowers with a good florist no matter what kind of flowers you choose!
Reply:Tulips, lillies, hibiscus, gerber daisies.
Reply:Red carnations and white crystal chrysanthemums. Those would make a beautiful bouquet.
Reply:Carnations are pretty in centrepieces and will look nice mixed in a bridal bouquet too.
Reply:Anthorium is beautiful
Reply:don't know how to spell it...but lysianthus are beautiful - similar to roses but soft edges - great for weddings. I had them in my bouquet and they were gorgeous. All the best with choosing!
Reply:I had lilies and roses. and it turned out beautiful. I didn't want roses either, but once I saw a bouquet of lilies and roses my heart was set. My friend had calalilies and my cousin had daisies. It just depends on what you like. It's your wedding. Do what you want with it.

Reply:I was like you and did not want roses because I thought since the girls dresses were red they would carry white and I would carry red. But then I found this website (silkspecialites.com) that sells silk flower bouquets. They sent me some samples and I played around with them. I ended up picking a burgundy, mauve, and ivory. I was a little nervous about the difference in color between the dresses and flowers but they turned out beautiful. I got so many compliments. Nobody knew they were silk and I didn't have to worry about them dying in the heat. I now have some of the bouquets in vases on my mantel. Its a nice memory!

Reply:carnations look nice, what about these with small type flowers like pansys and such, maybe just a few rose buds.
Reply:Calla lilies and Easter lilies. If you want a pop of red, add some tulips.



Stay away from carnations, as they look like they are funeral flowers.
